JULIE MANHEIMER, FOUNDER AND PRINCIPAL OF LADY J CREATIVE, WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEW YORK CITY. THE GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF A DECORATED ZIGFIELD FOLLIES COSTUME DESIGNER, AND THE GRANDDAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER OF PROLIFIC ARTISTS, JULIE'S PENCHANT FOR THE ARTS DEVELOPED AT AN EARLY AGE. (SHE DEMANDED TO DRAW, RATHER THAN WRITE, HER BOOK REPORTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL). JULIE CONTINUED TO PURSUE THIS INTEREST THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, GRADUATING FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH A DEGREE IN FINE ARTS AND A CONCENTRATION IN MIXED MEDIA SCULPTURE. SHE WENT ON TO STUDY FASHION DESIGN AT PARSONS AND BEGAN DESIGNING EMBROIDERY FOR SEVERAL LUXURY WOMEN'S WEAR BRANDS. IT WAS ONLY AFTER A SERENDIPITOUS CONVERSATION WITH HER NEWLY ENGAGED BEST FRIEND IN THE SPRING OF 2010 THAT JULIE DECIDED TO PURSUE A CAREER IN NEW YORK'S EVENT INDUSTRY. ENGAGED AND STRESSED ABOUT PLANNING HER WEDDING, JULIE'S FRIEND JAMIE BEGAN TO DESCRIBE THE LOOK AND FEEL THAT SHE WANTED TO ACHIEVE FOR HER HUDSON VALLY NUPTIALS. WHILST RATTLING OFF A FEW DESCRIPTORS- "ALL WHITE FLOWERS, CANDLE LIGHT, RAW WOOD...," A VERY CLEAR IMAGE OF JAMIES WEDDING MANIFESTED IN JULIE'S MIND, AS IF JAMIE HAD SHOWN HER A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE FULLY DECORATED VENUE.. IN THAT MOMENT, JULIE REALIZED THAT THE EVENT INDUSTRY OFFERED A CAREER PATH FOR A MIXED MEDIA SCULPTOR! A FEW HOURS LATER, JULIE ENROLLED IN THE 6 WEEK INTENSIVE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN FLORAL DESIGN AT THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN.

AFTER INTERNING FOR TWO NOTABLE EVENT DESIGNERS, PLAZA FLOWERS AND FETE, JULIE DECIDED TO EXPAND HER KNOWLEDGE OF NEW YORK'S EVENT INDUSTRY FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. SHE WAS HIRED BY THE EVENT PLANNING FIRM STATE OF THE ART ENTERPRISES (A DIVISION OF BACKAL HOSPITALITY GROUP) IN JANUARY OF 2011, WHERE SHE WAS MENTORED CLOSELY BY LESLIE MASTIN. (WITH WHOM SHE STILL WORKS CLOSELY TODAY VIA LESLIE MASTIN EVENTS). AT STATE OF THE ART, JULIE DEVELOPED THE COMPANY'S DESIGN DIVISION, OFFERING HER CLIENTS' SERVICES RANGING FROM GRAPHIC DESIGN AND EVENT STYLING TO GIFT AND FAVOR DESIGN. SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CREATIVE PROCESS THAT HER UNIQUE ROLL AFFORDED HER.. PART PLANNER, PART EVENT DESIGNER, PART GRAPHIC DESIGNER, PART FINE ARTIST, THERE IS NO CAREER MORE SUITABLE FOR JULIE MANHEIMER.

IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014, JULIE MANHEIMER FOUNDED LADY J CREATIVE. EXPANDING ON THE FOUNDATION SHE GAINED WHILE WORKING AT STATE OF THE ART. SHE IS LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF HER NEW VENTURE, EXCITED TO SPREAD HER LOVE OF ALL THINGS DETAIL ORIENTED.
